Tektronix unveils decode, trigger & search support for the CAN XL protocol aimed at the growing intelligent transportation network

04/17/2024

Tektronix, Inc, a leading provider in test and measurement solutions, announced the release of the Tektronix CAN XL (Controller Area Network Extended Length) protocol decoder, enabling engineers incorporating the latest generation of CAN communications, and helping Tektronix customers compete in today’s fast-changing technology landscape. With the ability to decode signals representing data packets transmitted using CAN XL frames in a CAN network, the Tektronix CAN XL protocol decoder runs on today’s 4, 5, 6 Series MSO Oscilloscopes and also offers critical features such as error detection, analysis and debugging of timing and protocol headers. Tektronix is accelerating CAN XL design and debug workflows with this release, and the intuitive user interface on 4, 5, and 6 Series MSOs helps accelerate CAN XL workflows for the company’s growing number of transportation customers.

CAN XL is the latest innovation in the CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol family, developed and standardized by the CAN in Automation (CiA) consortium, of which Tektronix is a member. The new standard allows mixed message types - Ethernet tunneling and traditional signal-based CAN – at faster data rates of 20 Mb/s. These transmission types and rates are required to handle increasing amounts of sensor data, enabling advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) features and paving the way for the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV).

“The Tektronix CAN XL protocol decoder is a powerful tool that showcases the Tektronix commitment to innovation and meeting our customers' needs in the automotive, industrial automation segments, and beyond,” shares Subhasis Bera, Business Manager, Protocols and Software Platform. “We are happy to create versatile solutions that exceed our valued customers’ expectations.”
